Just wanted to share the latest incoming. I always wanted a tropical 69 but never wanted to pay a 100% premium for it.

When the right opportunity presented itself, I pounced.

What makes this one even more special to me is the fact that I've acquired it in a 50/50 "joint venture" with my dad. It's his first Speedmaster!

It will be serviced in order to bring it to a perfect state. The case is a bit polished or worn out, I'm not sure, but still retains nice shaped lugs. Obviously the dial/handset is the true stunner here.
As always, don't hesitate if you have comments or queries !

PS: it's a 29.6M serial number

 

Delicious

 

This ones mine only had in my hand to admire for a 1 HR before I dropped it off for a service at the beginning of December 29.6M serial

Only down side is has a weak spot on the track between 2 and 3 from careless handling

Not as brown as yours but getting there

 

really hard to get the tones.....but here in natural light.

although Mrs. P says that it is more purple than brown

 

Stunning Speedy, congratulations!

 

Thanks guys. Your tropicals look amazing!
These Speedmasters certainly are some of the most interesting watches around...

 

Nice brownie, congratulations!

 

Congrats , great buy!

 

Sweet!!!

 

Huge Congrats ! Fantastic Trio (incl. the Heuer 2447 T fab. suisse).
wear all in good health !

 

Thank you bud!
I may let go the 2447, but it's really a great trio nonetheless

 

Very nice find ! Congrats !!!

Greetings from my twin

 

I had a 145.012-67 Chocolate but I don't find the photos..

 

Lovely, welcome to the club.

 

They really do look like twins!
Your bezel looks very cool. But my watch has one of my favorite features out all of the Speedmasters that I've found: the "GREEN GUNKY PUSHERS"!
Jokes aside, I really like to see the watch in such a condition, you know it really hasn't been messed with

 

Seeing the enthusiasm for vintage Speedmasters on this site leaves no doubt in my mind that there is no "bubble" in values. The interest is simply growing much (much) faster than Omega is producing cal 321 and early cal 861 Speedmasters. Things sure have changed, which is a good thing, unless you're trying to buy a 321 now.

 

I agree. I'm not sure I'm happy, because even though I have some speedies, I feel like I will never have enough...

 

Thewatchfellas?

 

Did you know that we are italians ?!
Good choice of movie
The seller lives in my dad's city, so it was a fun thing to get it together. We'll try to tie a lot of memories to it

 

By the way, a small pic of the brownie having fun with her friends
